Description
Live-in care in Blackfriars is for experienced, compassionate carers who want to live with a client and support day-to-day routines around the clock with agreed breaks. These ongoing, self-employed placements suit people who prefer continuity of care and the chance to build strong relationships with the families they support. Right now, 105 live-in placements are currently open across the wider region.
As a carer on PrimeCarers you set your own approach and your own rates. You choose clients, hours and the service area you’re willing to travel to. Many carers working through PrimeCarers travel from across the country for live-in placements and bring a commitment to consistent, person-centred support. We’ll help with the practical side: PrimeCarers finds clients, handles contracts, invoicing and payments, and insurance is included while you work.
Typical pay for carers working live-in roles varies by needs and experience; you’ll see the market ranges when you set your profile. Use the platform to compare and choose the right match for you. Common formats include day and night support, personal care, medication prompting, companionship and help with household routines. Carers often split duties with family or support workers to guarantee agreed breaks.
This kind of work suits carers who have at least one year of professional care experience and who want more control than agency shifts usually allow. To join you’ll need an Enhanced DBS check (PrimeCarers can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. We verify profiles so families can hire with confidence.
Working in Blackfriars means you may support people who want to stay in their own homes close to central London and neighbourhoods such as Temple, Bankside, Aldwych, Holborn, Farringdon and the Barbican. PrimeCarers supports placements across Camden too, and you can limit your service area on your profile to the neighbourhoods you prefer.
- How to apply: Create a profile, add your experience and references, and request help with an Enhanced DBS if needed. Applying takes minutes; profiles typically go live within days of verification.
- Choosing work: When a family expresses interest you decide whether to accept; you remain self-employed and set the terms directly with the household.
- Support from PrimeCarers: We handle contracts, invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you work.
